This is a documentary regarding Pinhead's brother, who was made redundant from the cenobites for having a crap voice and wandered the streets of New York, claiming benefits and doing Uncle Fester impressions for loose change. This is his story.Which isn't saying much. Basically there's this girl who's scared of Hellinger, and her dad, right, he's given her gip about this and that and taunts her about Hellinger, who then appears behind her dad and rips his eyeballs out. Now Hellinger looks like someone fell into a bucket of light blue paint and is now standing under a spotlight shouting about it. You know how Pinhead was covered in pins and was menacing and had a weird voice? Well Hellinger can't even afford safety pins, looks like a bad actor, and sounds like he's suffered some sort of head injury.Years after the dad-eyeball pulling incident, and the child is all grown up and still banging on about Hellinger. There's also some religious guys, one of whom is her boyfriend, who seem to have some connection with Dillinger. I wasn't paying that much attention as a lot of the film contains bad actors jawing at each other.There's also a cop/cousin of the girl trying to get to the bottom of some sort of murder (I can't remember if he solved that one) and he also gets caught up trying to figure out who Hellinger is. I've never been to New York but I'm guessing all the cussing and threatening is basically how they talk to each other there.There's also a bit where this serial killer steals Hellinger's giro and they all have an awful time trying to get a replacement at the local jobcentre, forcing Hellinger to become homeless.

View MoreHellinger (Wayne Petrucelli), a demonic spirit who looks like he failed to graduate from Cenobite school and talks as though he has severe brain damage, likes to torment a woman named Melissa (Shana Sosin), killing those around her and then boring the poor girl with protracted monologues about the devil and stuff (all delivered in his insufferable trademark drawl).Melissa's cousin Kendall (Artie Richard) is a tough cop with a serious set of inks and a cool leather coat; he is investigating a murder, but seems to spend more time talking to Melissa's coma-inducing psychiatrist in an attempt to help her with her problems.Meanwhile, Melissa's boyfriend is out doing very nasty things to women with a knife...Even by Troma's low, low standards, Hellinger is very poor viewing: the muddled Hellraiser-style storyline is never scary, the dialogue is tedious and uninteresting, the acting atrocious (with Petrucelli taking the prize for worst actor), and the whole cheap-assed production reeks of amateurishness. Hell, the extreme levels of ineptitude displayed by all involved didn't even manage to make me laugh, so the film doesn't even score marks there!However, narrowly saving this piece of garbage from the shame of receiving a 1/10 are a couple of completely gratuitous sex scenes (just like dwarfs and kung fu, they always make a film better) and a murder scene that manages to shock thanks to the over-the-top manner in which the victim is dispatched: she is brutally punched in the face, repeatedly stabbed between the legs with a knife, eaten out by her attacker (yes, literally eaten out!!!), and then raped. This is all done in the dark, and so isn't necessarily that graphic, but we see enough to get the message: this killer is one very sick puppy!
... View Morethis film was the most disgusting film i have ever seen. how you could film someone pretending to be raped is beyond me its sick and i hated it. what if people brought that and was raped in the past, you don't think about how it could affect them, it could lead them to suicide and you'd be the people they would blame. it can really hurt someone and why you would have the audacity to even think about putting that sort of appalling scene in a film is disgraceful. i hope you never make things like this again because i was absolutely disgusted and couldn't be touched thats the way it affected me it was appalling. this truly was the most disgusting thing i have ever seen!
... View MoreThe start of the movie showed promise. I was expecting a brilliant psychological and theological horror, sort of the Hellraiser. Hellinger's theology was somewhat based on Buddhism. That is impressive for a low budget, gore-mongering, sex laden horror flick. But there were two major problems with this film. 1) That scene where the rapist brutally murdered and raped that woman had nothing to do with the plot and was so disgusting I have spent weeks trying to remove the image from my head, it won't go away. This should have been left out of the movie all together. 2) All that imagination building up a great plot and it fell apart in the end. That is one of the worst endings I have ever seen, but I won't spoil it for you.I don't say this often, but if you haven't seen this movie, don't! For the love of God don't! It is not worth it due to reason number 1 stated above. I gave this movie 3 stars only because it could have been good. What a waist!!!
